Rin's gift

He looked straight into her eyes and he knew that they held love that no other could give him. She looked back into his and realized he showed the same in his eyes, even though he seemed so rough on the outside deep inside there was something undiscovered. Finally she said something in such a tiny voice that it sounded like mouse, "yes Sesshomaru…" He gazed into her eyes once more before opening his mouth to speak. "You Kagome..managed to scare me..I do not wish to feel that emotion again…" She stood there gazing at him for awhile until he finally started to walk again. There she walked with her arm wrapped around his. She could feel a strange feeling in her heart it was like she had fallen into a new world where everything was perfect and nothing else mattered but the fact that she was happy. Her whole body got tingles everywhere then she finally realized it was because Sesshomaru had held her hand. She glanced at their hands then at Sesshomaru, he had this look in his eyes it looked almost as if…he was happy. He wasn't smiling but just by looking into his eyes she could tell he was. His eyes where looking straight ahead into the sun that was now setting, Kagome on the other hand was looking up into the sky noticing all its beautiful colors it held. Sesshomaru's face remained toward the sunset but his eyes moved to the left to look at Kagome. Her raven black hair was blowing gently in the warm breeze her eyes were glistening in the light from the sun her outfit was shining in the beams of sunset light. To him she looked as if she was a mystical being with undying beauty. Every once in awhile he found himself glancing at Kagome. Once they were close to their little campsite Sesshomaru slid his hand away from Kagome's and walked over to Rin. Rin looked up from her little basket of fruit to see Sesshomaru standing over her. Kagome stared blankly for awhile then walked over to them. Sesshomaru blinked then stared towards Jaken and nodded. Jaken bowed then grabbed something in cloth and walked over to them and stood in front of Rin and handed her the cloth. She held it then looked at Sesshomaru, he smiled a tiny bit reassuringly. She looked back at the cloth then unwrapped it slowly. Kagome's eyes widened a bit. Sesshomaru looked towards where Kagome was standing then spoke, "teach her how to use these as you do Kagome." Kagome smiled then bent down beside Rin. "…What's this for my lord?" She spoke in her little soft voice. "You're going to have to learn how to fight as the rest of us Rin." The green toad said. She hugged her gift tightly with a fairly large smile on her face.

It was early the next morning when Kagome woke up, she heard a little sigh of defeat then she rubbed her eyes and looked around and saw little Rin holding her Bow. When Kagome stood up she noticed all the arrows around a tree. "I can't do this.." Rin whined. Kagome grabbed her bow and her arrows and then stood beside Rin. "Oh good morning Kagome are you hungry I can cook some breakfast if you want." Kagome shook her head, "I'm not hungry yet Rin, don't worry about it." A sleepy yawn came from Kagome before she aimed her arrow and shot the tree straight in the middle. "Whoa Kagome you're very talented how can you manage to hit it right on target and make it look so easy?" Kagome handed Rin one of her arrows. "It's quite simple actually, all you have to do is keep your arms straight and focus then pull it back slowly and let go." Kagome let out a little giggle, "of course you have to aim too." Rin smiled then set up her bow and arrow. Kagome watched Rin hoping she'd hit the tree. Slowly Rin pulled it back a little bit farther then released. The arrow went flying in a direct straight line then went farther into the tree where Kagome had shot. Kagome's jaw dropped, "how..did you do that?" "I merely followed your advice Kagome was I mistaken somewhere?" "No Rin you were…excellent! I just don't see how you could make it so..perfect in the first shot." "Well it wasn't my first shot Kagome." "Yeah I know I just mean your first shot taking advice..you catch on easy Rin."

Later after Kagome and Rin ate breakfast Kagome went to pick some more fruit for their journey. While Kagome was away Rin was left to make a fire and watch over Sesshomaru and Jaken while they slept. Rin hummed a little soft tune while laying out sticks then into a triangle shape pointing towards the sky. "Snap" Rin whipped up to her feet, whipped out an arrow, pulled off her bow, set up her arrow, and aimed and fast as she could. She waited for awhile before a demon whipped out of the bush ready to attack Sesshomaru while he slept. She let go of the arrow while it went flying straight for the demon. Sesshomaru leapt out of the spot before Rin shot then watched the arrow hit the demon straight between the eyes. He walked over to Rin then placed his hand on her shoulder, "thank you Rin." Rin dropped her bow then wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru into a tight hug. "Thank you my Lord!" Sesshomaru's eyes opened wide not expecting her to hug him. He looked at her then patted her head gently then she released her arms then put her bow back on her back with her arrows. "Kagome you should've seen I HIT HIM I HIT HIM!" Kagome then rushed over and hugged Rin then picked up her fruit then tied it in a bag and put it on Aiu and Oon's back. (I didn't spell that right forgive me)

"I'm so proud of you Rin!" Kagome smiled. "Rin go buy yourself a new kimono." Rin looked up at Sesshomaru, "I have no money though." He handed her yen. (I think..) "Use this and take Kagome with you." With a huge smile from both girls they ran off towards the nearest village.
